Prompt ….
PHOTO PROMPT © Claire Sheldon
One day Prof Clipper, a renowned physicist, got locked out of his office. A student accompanying him offered to fetch the duplicate key, but the Prof gestured otherwise. He searched his pockets and brought out a couple of twisted paper-clips. Next he inserted them in the lock and fiddled with the lock. There was a click and the lock opened.
The student was amazed and asked – How many paper-clips did you use to make that lock-pick?
Prof – Two
Student – So what did you do with the rest in the glass?
Prof – I used them to model 3D quantum structures.

Thanks for the prompt Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. SHALOM.
Yarnspinnerr 
Very clever!
Thank you.
Yes that would be the thing to do… personally I would prefer to model in 13D when going Quantum
🙂 May be his approach is to understand the 3D before going on to further dimensions.
Thank you.
Brilliant and quirky, or is that “quarky”?
🙂 Thank you so much.
Hopefully, you caught my little bit of word play.
Loved the quirky quark …. stored it for future use. 🙂
Amazing story , Yarnspinnerr!
Glad you like it. Thank you.
Good one. Made me smile –and think of my husband!
Happy that it made you smile. Thank you.
Appropriate name for a clever professor.
🙂 Thank you.
Is Professor Clipper known to the local police? For it seems like he has quite a knack for picking locks 🙂
I shall inquire. 🙂
Thank you.
Haha, well those are two ways of putting paper clips to good use! P.S. Very clever name for the professor, made me smile 🙂
So glad. Thank you. 🙂
Yarn, I have a feeling the prof is up to something brilliant for later on. Very cool story!
May be he discovers a quirky quark – that solves all our problems. 🙂
Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
Very good yarn (pun intended), YarnSPinner. Reminded me of Prof. Calculus from TinTin
So glad the Clipper clicked.
Thanks for the read and a nice comment.
Dear YS
Professor Clipper is clever indeed. Good one.
Salaam,
Rochelle
Glad you like it. Thank you!
Shalom.
Giggling, Just love it! Quantum physics… guffaw!
Glad it made you laugh. Thank you.
Prof.Clipper is in the wrong profession 😀
May be he has more than one occupation 🙂
Thanks for the read, input and an idea for using Prof in future.
Well, what can I say? He’s one clever professor!

Ugh, I had a college physics flash back. I’m so glad that I don’t need quantum physics in medicine.
Tracey
Yes, at least at the present level of medicine.
Thanks for the read and feedback.
Love it. We need to respect our teachers more.
The teachers need to earn it too.
Thank you.
That was fun indeed… and they say physics professors are nerds.. how many would know how to pick a lock?
I am sure some have interesting hobbies (from a common man’s POV)
Thank you.
🙂
Quite an accomplished Professor 😀 And loved his name too!
🙂 Thank you.
This professor has skills! Very clever.
Thank you.
What fun, and how clever. He sure has a way with the clips. I now want to see his three-dimensional models. 🙂
So do I 🙂
Thank you.
Clever story. Professor Clipper better be careful. If he picked a lock in bad light he could end up in a prism.
A quirky prism. 🙂
Thank you.
Reblogged this on Musings of a Penpusher and commented:

Thank you for the lovely comment and reblog MJ 🙂
The student learned something that day. Very clever. Good writing, Yarnspinnerr. 🙂 — Suzanne
Appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you. 🙂
Of course he did – doesn’t everyone?
Pick locks with paper clips?
Thank you 🙂
